who here still plays DOOM?

[Domino]

even though this game has been around for a decade, and games now adays kick its ass, who here still goes back and plays DOOM? I must admit that i do, and enjoy it as much as i did when it first came out. Let me know if you do, and your most memorable DOOM moment.

PC or Console, it doesn't matter.

[Trapezoid]

I do occasionally. It's a classic! Or at least it will be as soon as the 90s alternative-grunge era nostalgia begins. The nostalgists are going through the 80s right now (see VH1.)

[CMonkey]

DOOM, DOOM2 and Wolfenstein from time to time, though i can only play it for about an hour or so before it becomes a bit repetitive, i hate it when it becomes a find your way through the maze game.

[rodekill]

I do, and I use this.

[DGMacphee]

Wow, Rode, that looks like something special!

Downloading it right now!

[TheYak]

Yeah, I mess with it just about every time I come across a new mod for it.  Mostly I just keep it around and install on machines of friends and co-workers.  It's a healthy staple of entertainment goodness.

[Hinders]

Doom was a good game(not as good as wolf3d) but i still play it with my little-brother!  

[Privateer Puddin']

doom? we're adventure gamers for gods sake! jk

[Ishmael]

ME!

I have Ultimate Doom and Doom2, Doom95, ZDoom and ZDLaucher and DeHackEd, along with other editing tools, so occasionally I drop off adventures and either play the episodes again or make my own levels or weapons. Last thing I tried was to make a sniper rifle... Worked out quite well, except that you could see the bullet... and the weapon had no muzzle flash... and the firing rate was a bit too high... but otherwise, it worked out fine... of cource, no zoom... should try to do something about that, if anyhow possible... It looks... eh... funny when sergants fly to pieces when shot, mostly I aim for the head, just out of an habit, since ZDoom has the ability

I should fix that Hand of God thing I was making... a pile of all new weapons... like, The Hand of God, which shot fireballs in insane firerate, and when hitting an imp or a posssed human or a sergant, they most sure burned then into a smoking pile of guts... except without the smoke...

The Doom musics are one of my favourite songs... especially the Doom1 intermission music... and the e1m1 music... and doom2 map1 music...

Did I get carried away?  :

Shotgun! Where the Fhaeeeasdf is my Shotgun!

[DGMacphee]

If you ever want a real trip, try playing Doom with the Apocalypse Now soundtrack.

BTW, Rode, that Doom Legacy thing rules!

[Ishmael]

I cant wait until tonight! I get my laptop on the net again, and get to dnl that...

Anybody else tend to waste time dodgn baron's shots and firing them with shotgun from far range?

[Ferret]

Indeed. Many a late night spent hunting Arch Viles around corners and running like made from those pesky Revenants. I use a different engine for my Doom fun, called Doomsday. Same idea as Legacy, except a little more developed, plus links to remixed and orchestral versions of the Doom soundtrack and higher resolution textures (which, honestly, look like ass.)

We should organise a Frag night or something.

[prowler]

yup i also play doom from time to time, either legacy or with the ZdoomBot... if you like the doom music, wait till you hear this!

[remixor]

LENS FLAER!1111!1  R0XOR TO TEH MAX0R!!1111!!!

[Ferret]

Hate to point out the bleeding, fuckin' obvious, but you can turn those off.

[remixor]

Dude, why would you want to turn off lens flare?  

[TheYak]

You do realize that coronas often appear to a naked-eye, right guys?  Especially in high-fog/humidity conditions..   not the same as a lens-flare.

[remixor]

Yeah, yeah, whatever.  All I know is that lens flare r0x0rs my b0x0rs.

[Ghormak]

I just thought it was funny, because as you've noticed we like to laugh at the lens flares, regardless if they can be turned off or not.

I agree with Yakspit that coronas should be visible in games. I actually think it looks good. But not the multi-coloured circles as seen in the first screenshot. Ugh. Sure, the player should be penalized for staring into the sun, but lens flares is a little too harsh!

All I have to say about Doom, the game is that I don't like it at all, lens-flare or no lens flare.
